WASHINGTON (AP)

President Bush vows in his latest campaign ad to "bring an enemy to justice before they hurt us again" although Osama bin Laden remains at large and only one U.S. defendant, Zacarias Moussaoui, has been charged with crimes related to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. ..

Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee launched a radio ad that also mentions the terror attacks and claims that Bush has distorted Sen. John Kerry's record on terrorism in a Republican radio ad. That, the Democratic commercial says, is "beneath the office of president."

Bush's new TV commercial underscores his argument that his pre-emptive strike on Iraq was warranted in a post-Sept. 11 era and as commander in chief, he has pursued policies to protect the nation. ..

Democrat John Kerry's campaign charged that an ad invoking the terrorist attacks was proof that Bush's re-election campaign "has reached the point of desperation" and was a sign that "Bush has lost credibility." "He can't speak to a single issue voters care about: not jobs, not health care, not deficits," said Chad Clanton, a Kerry campaign spokesman. ..
